I chose rule 12 because I felt that according to the principles of those around us, we are not Christian. I don't hit my children in the name of the Lord, I don't hide behind organizations that support and tolerate bigotry, discrimination, and hatred. Filing as a philosophical exemption meant that we had more power to choose and were less defined by those around us.

I realize this came out harsher than I intended it to. It stems a bit from the feelings I had after joining a homeschool group here and leaving it shortly after. It wasn't meant as an insult to you - just a reasoning for why we do what we do.

Sick and Tired

Postby NebraskaPCRepair » Mon Feb 25, 2008 1:12 pm

I am tired of my extremely bright children (ages 13, 11, 8, and 5) being dumbed (Is that even a word?) down by the school system. My wife and I are moving our business home to home school our kids at the end of the current school year. I really need help! Any advice would be appreciated. Where do I start? Lesson plans, schedules, etc. Thanks for your help in advance.

You might want to start with a local homeschool group and the library. Yahoo is great at finding a group in town or even just in the county. That will help you see what is available for co-ops, field trips, and play dates during the school day. The library should have a few different books on styles of schooling to help you figure out what's best for your family (and that will probably change over the next few months or years).

After that, the forms for filing are available here. Reading the above conversation, you can see the difference between the two.

We create our own curriculum, but if you're looking for something complete you might want to try homeschoolreviews.com to see most of what's out there. As far as the rest........keep reading different sites and keep your mind open. There's a wealth of information out there.

Homeschooling going well.

Homeschoolers aren't freaks, we just care about what our kids are exposed to; you should too.
